How did you come up with the idea to create hip hop theology? What inspires you to build this? Would there be a <a href="http://www.rts.edu/" rel="nofollow">seminary</a> or teachings about this theology? Mr.Dyson. How did you come up with the idea to create hip hop theology?

I am a 55 year old white woman who is a mother of three grown children. I can't imagine people like that being allowed to live in the general population. My heart breaks for her and her parents. Thanks for letting me speak my opionion. I agree with you that people should be outraged over what happened to Megan Williams. I am a 55 year old white woman who is a mother of three grown children.

When they talk of "ho's", it isn't meant in the same degenerate way Imus used it. It is meant with affection. Hip-hop rules! Hip-hop is much misunderstood.

I agree that the word is improper in many contexts but to protest it when you have heavy problems such as massive cuts in Cancer/AIDS research, school arts programs(which could help produce better artists), children health insurance along with a high high school dropout rate. The N-word is the least of our problems as a people and a country. It seems the N-word is just another issue many blacks are using just to get on TV(Sharpton, Juan Williams, etc). When is the last time a high profile black persdon even mentioned homelessness on TV? If we stopped using the N-word tomorrow, the infant mortality rate in Harlem would still be worse than Guatemala. With crumbling infrastucture, wars on terror and drugs which are both failing, DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE ON THE N-WORD.

And the evening did not disappoint. I agree with you. It truly was a night that I will always remember. And being in the esteemed company of such movers and shakers, yourself included, was life changing. I am a black fashion designer with my own line of women's tops and I have been submerged in that world for the last several years. Although I like to pride myself on black awareness, I was introduced to another universe that evening. I now understand that I need to be proactive in balancing my professional life while raising my social consciousness. One of my first steps is reading your blog and Dr. Dyson's book. Josanne informed me that you are doing a series of specials throughout the summer on CNN and I will try to tune in for that as well. Continued success and just keep on living your life like you do. It certainly is inspiring! Peace. Hello Mr. Martin,
